General annotation (Comments)

Function

Calcium- and diacylglycerol-independent serine/threonine-protein kinase that functions in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade, and is involved in NF-kappa-B activation, mitogenic signaling, cell proliferation, cell polarity, inflammatory response and maintenance of long-term potentiation (LTP). Upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment in macrophages, or following mitogenic stimuli, functions downstream of PI3K to activate MAP2K1/MEK1-MAPK1/ERK2 signaling cascade independently of RAF1 activation. Required for insulin-dependent activation of AKT3, but may function as an adapter rather than a direct activator. Upon insulin treatment may act as a downstream effector of PI3K and contribute to the activation of translocation of the glucose transporter SLC2A4/GLUT4 and subsequent glucose transport in adipocytes. In EGF-induced cells, binds and activates MAP2K5/MEK5-MAPK7/ERK5 independently of its kinase activity and can activate JUN promoter through MEF2C. Through binding with SQSTM1/p62, functions in interleukin-1 signaling and activation of NF-kappa-B with the specific adapters RIPK1 and TRAF6. Participates in TNF-dependent transactivation of NF-kappa-B by phosphorylating and activating IKBKB kinase, which in turn leads to the degradation of NF-kappa-B inhibitors. In migrating astrocytes, forms a cytoplasmic complex with PARD6A and is recruited by CDC42 to function in the establishment of cell polarity along with the microtubule motor and dynein. In association with FEZ1, stimulates neuronal differentiation in PC12 cells. Is necessary and sufficient for LTP maintenance in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells By similarity. In inflammatory response, is required for the T-helper 2 (Th2) differentiation process, including interleukines production, efficient activation of JAK1 and the subsequent phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of STAT6. May be involved in development of allergic airway inflammation (asthma), a process dependent on Th2 immune response. In NF-kappa-B-mediated inflammatory response, can relieve the SETD6-dependent repression of NF-kappa-B target genes by phosphorylating the RELA subunit at 'Ser-311'. Ref.5 Ref.6

Catalytic activity

ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Enzyme regulation

Atypical PKCs (PRKCI and PRKCZ) exhibit an elevated basal enzymatic activity (that may be due to the interaction with SMG1 or SQSTM1) and are not regulated by diacylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, phorbol esters or calcium ions. Two specific sites, Thr-410 (activation loop of the kinase domain) and Thr-560 (turn motif), need to be phosphorylated for its full activation. Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate might be a physiological activator By similarity.

Subunit structure

Interacts directly with SQSTM1. Forms a ternary complex with SQSTM1 and KCNAB2. Forms another ternary complex with SQSTM1 and GABRR3. Forms a complex with SQSTM1 and MAP2K5 By similarity. Interacts with PARD6A, PARD6B and PARD6G. Part of a complex with PARD3, PARD6A or PARD6B or PARD6G and CDC42 or RAC1. Interacts with ADAP1/CENTA1. Interacts (via the protein kinase domain) with WWC1. Forms a tripartite complex with WWC1 and DDR1, but predominantly in the absence of collagen. Interacts with PDK1 (via N-terminus region) By similarity. Ref.4

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm By similarity. Endosome By similarity. Cell junction By similarity. Note: In the retina, localizes in the terminals of the rod bipolar cells. Associated with endosomes. Presence of KRIT1, CDH5 and RAP1B is required for its localization to the cell junction By similarity.

Domain

The C1 domain does not bind the diacylglycerol (DAG).

The OPR domain mediates mutually exclusive interactions with SQSTM1 and PARD6B By similarity.

Post-translational modification

CDH5 is required for its phosphorylation at Thr-410. Phosphorylated by protein kinase PDK1; phosphorylation is inhibited by the apoptotic C-terminus cleavage product of PKN2 By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. PKC subfamily.

Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain.

Contains 1 OPR domain.

Contains 1 phorbol-ester/DAG-type zinc finger.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
